Disclaimer Deuce: Last week on "Book V: War"

"Bring Rosalie and Tanya in front."

"No! This isn't right they've done nothing wrong!"

"Right and wrong is simply a matter of perspective, newborn."

"Why should you decide what is right and wrong."

"If being powerless is so terribly wrong, then does having power make you right?"

"Yes, being powerless is so terribly wrong, I've been powerless before, right and wrong only matter if you have the power to enforce them. They might have not broken our laws but their punishment must come. They are causalities for a society that needs them. They might not have broken our laws but they will pay the price for their piece in this."

"Felix, Demetri… do it."

Mike's POV

"No! You can't kill them!" I said pulling against the much stronger vampires holding me down. The one on my left laughed and spoke in to my ear.

"And after all this is over… We're going to have ourselves a great Minnesota feast… I heard you've got some family… maybe I'll stop over there." No! James, Jed, Alex, Kari, and Mom and Dad… No! No!

"NO!"

Felix's POV

"NO!" I turned over my shoulder to see the new vampire 'Mike Iverson" fighting against the grip of Li and Jay. It seemed like he was going to get free.

"Li, Jay! Restrain him!"

"We… can't!" Jay said panicking. What the hell? They're both younger than him there's no possible way he's stronger than them. Mike pulled his arms down breaking their hold on him. They both tried to grab him and started throwing punches on his hunched over body. I could see Mike's hands; there was a ball of something. It was bluish white, glowing. Where did he get that? The ball expanded in his hands then turned to a yellowish white, then a Reddish white. Oh no… he has a power. I thought too late as he threw his hands out in either direction. The ball of power expanded until it was ten feet in diameter. All I saw was now this white light, almost as bright as the sun glowing in front of me.

By now all the members of the Volturi had stopped what they were doing and stared at the sphere... It almost looks like the sphere is moving, being controlled, almost like it was being held in place. I don't like this… This is not good… I can feel it.

"Ironman" Jack Elzam's POV

I watched as the three vampires where engulfed in the sphere of something.

"What the hell is that?" Tiny asked.

"That would be his power…" Havik answered. What exactly is his power? What are its limits?

"How strong really is that power?" I asked Havik hoping he'd slip up and tell me. He just laughed.

"We have no idea… he's the piece of the puzzle we couldn't anticipate."

Felix's POV

It had only been seconds since Li, Jay, and Mike were engulfed by the large sphere of power. Sphere of power? What the hell is that? I thought to myself. The sphere got smaller then it went up slightly, then more. I saw someone lifting it. It was shrinking until it was only six feet wide, then as the arms came together the ball shrunk slowly until I saw Mike. Where the fuck is jay and Li? He pushed his hands together until it was the size of a basketball. The ball turned in Mike's hands. His eyes turned to me. I saw it, a burning hatred in his eyes, then a dark smile. The ball disappeared as Mike brought his hands together. It was then I realized he wasn't standing on the ground, the sphere made a crater and he was floating above it. My god, he can fly.

He was literally glowing. There was a slightly visible aura around him, almost as if he harnessed power. He stared at me and Demetri and his arms started shaking in anger, then his whole body. He rolled his shoulders back then threw his body forward and started flying at us. His body parallel to the ground facing me as he moved much faster than I expected possible, Demetri barely had time to drop Rosalie and throw up a block before his body spun around with a round house kick, all without touching the ground. It hit Demetri's upper arm. Even though Demetri blocked it he was sent flying. He rolled and came up to his feet clutching his arm in pain.

"Dodge, don't block!" he yelled at me as Mike flew at me. I immediately dropped Tanya and jumped over his incoming kick. He threw punch and kick simultaneously. It was impossible to try and predict his movements because unlike me he could throw anything at any time since he didn't need to support his weight. I was desperately trying to dodge and run away at the same time but neither were working as well as I hoped, finally I just threw a punch out of desperation which connected with his face. He stopped dead and stared me down as he readjusted his neck.

I didn't even see it coming, it came too fast to anticipate, or even react. He kicked me straight in the stomach I didn't even move my arms, I just took it. I flew backwards clutching my stomach in pain until I was standing in front of the rest of the Volturi. Mike had that same dark smile on his face.

"You still don't understand what my power is do you? I can control energy, weaponize it… like this." He said breathing out as he made a small ball of energy in front of him. He expanded it till it was the size of a beach ball then lifted it over his head. I watched in horror as the energy ball kept expanding; now it was the size of a small car.

"Tell me… If being powerless is so terribly wrong, then does having power make you right?" he said once again asking the same question he asked only minutes before."

"Well… you see… I'm… sorry about saying that…" I could feel Mike's hatred nearly burning holes in Aro.

"Oh so you weren't planning on raising St. Cloud and Minnesota up until now?" Mike asked as he floated higher in the air. Now he simply held the ball of energy above his head with one hand.

"Well…"

"One of your number threatened my very own living family… the family I had to give up because of my vampirism." Mike said calmly. I looked in to his eyes again it was calm and controlled, but at the same time it was rage and chaos.

"Who did this so I can properly punish him?" Mike smirked evilly then looked back over his shoulder where he made a small crater.

"I took care of him." He said.

"Oh… Then what seems to be the problem?" Aro didn't you read the reports? Tanya and Rosalie were the two most important vampires to him. I thought.

"Well, you did say you were going to rip the heads off two women who are very important to me." He said shaking. Aro, please steer this clear.

"Mike… please ask for them to release Edward." Bella called from behind him. I'd almost forgotten her, hiding among the people who couldn't feel anything.

"Shut up, you make me sick Bella." He didn't call her a bitch? Hmm didn't see that one coming.

"That's right! We've got Edward… now put the big ball of energy down or we'll kill him." Caius said. Did ANY of them read the reports on him? I guess it makes sense. He was just another vampire before, no need to know that he hates Edward. He started laughing.

"Good, then when I kill you I won't need to hunt down Edward too."

"You wouldn't." Marcus said confidently.

"He… would…" I said regrettably. I saw out of the corner of my eye someone running. It was one of our guard, Ramon.

"Fool! You think you can run?" Mike yelled angrily. He opened his free and an energy ball formed quickly. Then shot it at Ramon. His head was blown clear off. His neck and body fell to the ground and didn't move again, absent of the head that was no more than particles.

"Alec… Release the Cullens." Aro said quietly.

"But sir… that's dangerous." He responded.

"Less dangerous than this one angry… do it, now!" he said under his breath.

Tanya's POV

What the hell just happened? Why is my face in the grass? Where the hell am I? The War… the Volturi… Bella gave us up. Why am I alive? Who did they kill? I hope Mike is okay… I looked around and saw everyone else getting up the same way… Where's Mike? Where's Mike? Damn it, where the fuck is Mike! I forced myself to calm down. I breathed deep for a moment. Where was he last? I moved my vision over to where he was then saw something… almost as if a mini crater. My God what the hell did those bastards do to Mike! I stopped short. Why are the Volturi still here? Why aren't we fighting? I stopped and turned back the Volturi examining them.

They're all scared to death… They've got Edward, they've got better warriors, and their scared shitless… Why? Wait… their all looking above us… what's above us? I looked up. Oh… My… God… Mike is flying. When did he learn how to fly? Holy shit is that an energy ball in his hand? I thought as I saw what he was holding then it dawned on me exactly what was going on. Mike Iverson singlehandedly beat the Volturi. Damn that's hot.

"Carlisle, talk with him… certainly we can find a mutually beneficial solution." Aro said not once taking his eyes off Mike. I watched as Edward made his way back to Bella.

"A solution where no more bloodshed… where we can all leave unharmed?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes…"

"Mike, please come down here." Carlisle asked. Mike didn't move, not an inch.

"Mike, please come down… please." I asked.

"You would ask me… you who betrayed me? So now that I have power I'm worth it?" He said angrily. His words stung. I couldn't apologize enough for what I said to him.

"Mike, get your ass down here right now, or I swear I'll come up there and kick your ass myself." I turned to see Rosalie trying to talk him down. Mike laughed.

"You too Rosalie?" He asked.

"Yes… This isn't you Mike; you don't want to hurt anyone."

"This is who I am now… I've become this monster." Mike said, as he said it his body started lowering back to the ground.

"Even you don't believe that bull shit. You know you're better than this, don't make me laugh."

"You've got a funny way of trying to talk a guy down." God he's hot, I'd like to talk him down. He's literally the most powerful vampire ever… and he was mine. Was… Rosalie put her hand on his shoulder as he finally landed, still holding on to the ball of energy.

"You can stop this Mike… you don't need to do this."

"It's too late, I've already done it… I've killed three of them." He said still talking to Rosalie. Three? So the crater… he must have made it.

"They were vampires, blood drinkers… human killers."

"Monsters… Like me…?" Mike asked.

"You're not a monster Mike." Rosalie reassured.

"So I drank the blood of the man who killed me any that's not murder?" Mike said, all the while still holding the ball of energy.

"No… you couldn't stop yourself, you were a newborn, you had no one to help you stop yourself… it couldn't be helped."

"What about you, have you ever drank blood of a human?" Mike asked.

"No… but I have killed men before." Rosalie answered honestly.

"And Carlisle, what about him?"

"His hands are clean… but we're not all as strong as he… but that's no reason to give up."

"These Vampires… they all have red eyes… they've all slaughtered and drank the blood of countless humans… hundreds, maybe thousands, maybe tens of thousands dead because of them."

"Yes." Rosalie answered.

"It is the vampire way."

"Then why don't you do it?"

"We'd rather live among humans than drink their blood."

"Excuse me." A small voice called. We both turned a woman with red hair emerge from the Volturi.

"And you are?"

"My name's Alexis… I've never drank a human's blood… and I'm a member of the Volturi."

"You don't want to kill her do you Mike?" I saw him struggling.

"No… I don't." He said before reaching up with both hands and slowly pushing the giant ball of energy in to a manageable size, then down to a baseball, then pushed his hands together and it disappeared. He was glowing, as if the energy moved back inside of him. He was breathing in and out carefully. With his eyes still straight ahead at the Volturi.

"We can leave… but there is one problem we need to deal with first." Aro said. Mike's hand opened and a ball of energy appeared.

"Please… put that away." Mike laughed.

"Don't you agree that we all want the world how it is? We want the secret to remain secret?"

"Of course Aro."

"Something must be done about the boy's Mother."

"Destiny doesn't pose a problem." Embry responded.

"You believe so, but what assurances do we have?"

"You have none but knowing that she's got something worth hiding."

"If we could have some sort of assurance." Aro said.

"If I came and served the Volturi for one year, would that suffice?" Aro turned and discussed with Marcus and Caius. I saw people talking amongst themselves.

"One year, with the option of continued service if you so choose. In that time you'll serve and help where needed."

"Jasper, Alice, Bella, Edward, your services are welcome, if you so choose." Aro's attention turned back to Michael Iverson.

"I can tell you're struggling to find who you are and where you belong, join us and we'll help give you purpose. You'll be taught how to fight, and serve a higher calling."

"I will take you up on your offer." I turned back to Mike. No! Why?

"There is no place for me here…"

"Good… We'll give you a week to month to pack your belongings and be ready to leave. We'll send transport." Mike nodded.

"We await your arrival."

You might be asking yourself "bra, why's Fireproof updating only three days after he did" well that's because my five reviewers have reviewed and I happened to finish this chapter. Those five reviewers are the only reason. I'd like to thank Brokensofia, Fusedtwilight, Laurazuleta18, Brankel1, and leaa'clearwaterr for their continued support through this book as the five people who review every chapter, thanks. Now for my author-notely duties! Yep, I went there, Mike and Embry are going to leave the Cullens. This chapter was a lot of fun for me to write (which is why it was done so early) Thanks for reading, remember to give high fives, knucks, reviews, rolls of twenty dollar bills, and comments. Catch you on the flip side, Fireproof
